Abstract: Provided is an inkjet printhead having an array of micro-electromechanical nozzle arrangements. Each nozzle arrangement includes side walls located on a wafer substrate with a roof layer deposited on said walls to define an ink chamber. The roof layer defines a nozzle aperture and an inlet is defined in the substrate to supply the ink chamber with printing fluid. The nozzle arrangement also includes at least one heater element suspended between the side walls in the chamber, so that when electrical actuation energy of less than 500 nanojoules is applied to the heater element, a vapour bubble is formed in the fluid leading to a pressure increase in the chamber thereby ejecting the fluid via the nozzle aperture. The heater element is substantially covered by a conformal protective coating applied to all sides of the heater element simultaneously such that the coating is seamless.

Abstract: Techniques for using open interaction elements (OIEs) in voice-enabled systems are described (2000). OIEs include multi-select and dictation fields of a user interface (1906), into which a user may enter multiple selections or free-form information. To allow the user to exit from such OIEs, that is, to change from a data entry mode to a navigation mode, multiple exit strategies may be simultaneously enabled (2004, 2006, 2008) for use by the user. For example, an explicit exit command (2020) may be available to the user, in addition to an implicit exit command (2022) or time-out exit strategy (2026). In this way, users may individually select a preferred or practical way of exiting an OIE (2028). <IMAGE>

Abstract: A secondary lithium cell in which the anode is made by first taking an electrode comprising a material which undergoes a structural change when it is first charged and discharged such as a layer of tin, assembling a cell comprising the said anode, a cathode containing lithium ions, and an electrolyte containing lithium ions, passing an electric current through the cell so as to insert lithium ions into the material e.g. tin and so charge the cell, and then discharging the cell. This cell is then dismantled, and the anode removed and any electrolyte washed off. The layer of tin or other material is then coated with a layer comprising a polymeric material. This coated and pre-cycled electrode can then be used as an anode in a secondary lithium cell. The polymeric coating, which may be a microporous polymer, a plasticised polymer, as gel polymer, or a polymeric electrolyte, for example based on polyvinylidene fluoride, suppresses the deterioration in cell performance on subsequent cycling.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method and system for estimating the optimum service rate or bandwidth requirement (BWR) for a switch or router in a communications network for a particular traffic flow which contains elastic traffic, i.e. traffic subject to a feedback mechanism. The invention provides an iterative technique to estimate the optimum service rate from calculated BWRs for the particular traffic flow without initially knowing the precise form of the BWR for various service rates at a buffer of a switch. This is done by initially configuring a service capacity, calculating the BWR to configure a new service capacity and repeating this until the calculated BWR and configured service capacity coincide.
